Fatal errors

The following conditions produce fatal errors:

• specifying more than one -M option on the command line

• specifying both the -r and the -M option on the same command line

• specifying the -M option without the -dn option on the command line
  (-dy is the default; you must specify -dn with the -M option)
  

• a mapfile cannot be opened or read

• a syntax error is found in the mapfile

  ---

  NOTE: ld does not return an error if a file_name, section_name, segment_name or symbol_name does not conform to the rules under the ``Mapfile Structure and Syntax'' section unless this condition produces a syntax error. For instance, if a name begins with a special character and this name is at the beginning of a directive line, ld returns an error. If the name is a section_name (appearing within the directive) ld does not return an error.

  ---

• more than one segment_type, segment_flags, virtual_address, physical_address, length, or alignment value appears on a single declaration line

• you attempt to manipulate either the interp segment or dynamic segment in a mapfile

  ---

  CAUTION: The interp and dynamic segments are special built-in segments that you cannot change in any way.

• a segment grows larger than the size specified by a your length attribute value

• a user-defined virtual_address value causes a segment to overlap the previous segment

• more than one section_name, section_type, or section_flags value appears on a single directive line

• a flag and its complement (for example, A and !A) appear on a single directive line
